I didn't always spell my name Bil. My parents named me Bill, but when I started drawing cartoons on the wall, they knocked the 'L' out of me.

OF COURSE I'd like to be the ideal mother. But I'm too busy raising children.

Today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.

Many of my cartoons are not a belly laugh. I go for nostalgia, the lump in the throat, the tear in the eye, the tug in the heart.

Mommy would never divorce Daddy. He's just like one of the family.

Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm stranded in the wrong time where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme

I don't just try to be funny.
